From Adatns Co. Defender.

Politicians fastened themselves on to
the Grange movement and killed it.
They have clutched the G. A. r. and
for the second time will lay that insti-
tuition out. There is no room in free
republic for secret political societies.
Asa society to extend relief to dis
abled and needy comrades the GA. r.
ought to exist. AS an. djunct to the
Republican party it ought to be destroy
ed. No Democrat, no man of honesty
of purpose, can afford to longer identity
himself with an organization which
has been SO obviously swallowed by
the Republican party. The G.. A. r.
has no more right under its laws to de-
nounce the President of the United
States, or the acts Of any political par
ty than has the Odd Fellows or Nasons,
or kindred orders; and that it does 80,
proves that it is no longer q soldiers
organization; but a political club to be
used In assisting q party which has
been spewed from the power in dis
grace by the American people. If the
=. A. Il. cares tosbe a tag on the tail of
the Republican party 1t Is time for all
Democratic soldiers to leave it and let
it 60 down.

The National Woman Suffrage AS
sociation at its last annual meeting re
solved upon an attempt to secure al
enrolment of all persons in the United
states who believe in the enfranchise
ment of women. The direction of thi.
undertaking in each State is placed ir
the hands of its President. The
Officers of the Association decided t(
make the enrolment now determined
upon, matter of permanent and avail.
able record.
1t is most desirable to secure the
autographs of all women who are
ready to exercise the elective franchise.
and of all men who believe in equal
suffrage.
The list of names are to be posted in
book bearing the label of the State.
That this may be done, care will be
necessary in securing autographs that
they shall be legible. 1t is also desira-
BILE that the signatures of professional
men be accompanied by the abbrevia-
tons which indicate their professions.
that they may be properly classified
when registered in the Enrolment
Book.
The person returning the accompany
ing list mo matter how few the names)
will greatly facilitate the work of the

list the name of the County in which
the signatures are obtained.
Persons not wishing to do much can

Women Who Smoke.

The French housekeeper delights in
her after dinner cigarette" The SEN
ora of Barcelona loves in the evening
to wrap her black crepe about her head,
and while gently putting her long to-
bacco cigarette cast heart thrilling
glances from her balcony above the
walk at the sights below. While the
German frau is fond of her cigarette, or
even cigar, and the Russian wife is not
behind in her enjoyment Of the weed,
and even the Japanese Chinese, Tartar,
Dutch aud Soudanese wives all like to
let tobacco smoke curl from their pref
ty mouths toward the sky, the Italian
signora is, perhaps, the most passionate
ly fond of the long, thin cigar of the
country called the virginia. 1t is no
uncommon sight ofa summer evening
to see party of ladies sitting in some
cool terrace overlooking the sea on the
campagnar while the music of their vel
vety language keeps tune to the soft
splashing ofthe sea against the rocky
shore, and sends rings of smoke from
their fragrant cheroots. Philadelphia

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Frightful was
the heat in this city yesterday, and the
mortality list was an alarmingIy large

reported to the coroner, and every few
minutes police officer entered with a
batch of reports chronicling deaths
of unfortunates who had succumbed to

the streets, and for a time the princi-

has q way ofdropping down to Conev
Island every few days. He seems as
young and versatile as ever. A man
or infinite energy and resources
Although possessed ofabundant means,
he finds ample time to be everlastingly
busy about something. Generally it is
some big corporation law case where
his retaineris large and his industry in
proportion. Hurd is of medium stature.
strong face, brown n1ustache and
carries about forty-five years. He is a
recognized authority on all constitu-
tional matters. and especially on the
law of elections. For over twenty
years he has been a factor in the Demo-
cratic politics of Ohio and has frequent
ly been returned to Congress from the
Toledo district. Whenever he arose to
address the House, no matter what
might be the subject under debate, he
received the closest attention. His
logic is tersely and forcibly presented,
his Illustrations always to the point,
while his senergy Is of a kind that car
ries conviction with it. The man
means what he says, and means it all
over. His defeat by Romeis at the last
election was blow for the Democratic
party, for there will be no such con-
vincing advocate of tariff reform in the
next House. Hurd is an out-and-out
free trader, but he has reasons for the
faith that is in him, like Sterling, Nor
ton, Prof Sumner, of Yale, and David
A. Wells. He says the big tariff:reform
wave must come from the agricultural
regions of the Northwest.

point many well-meaning and true

perhaps the party. Therefore, / repeat,

so taken, for

clarations that he would not be the can

the firmest of men, and when he once

OF course the extract above given
would of itself settle the question. but I
have been put in possession of other
facts coming directly from the Senator,
which not only corroborate. but EN-
phasize his determination not to accept
nomination under any circumstances.

A WONDERFUL WELL.
A Genuine Atmospheric phenomeno

A Genuine Atmospheric Phenomenon.
RAvENNA, o., July I5.-on the farm
OF J. ID. Nichols, better known as the
Old Vanderslice farm, located in Nelson
township, in this county, about one
fourth of a mile south of the Parkman
Geauga county, line and about one
half mile east ofthe Hiram line, well
was dug about sixty years ago, and af-
ter yielding bountiful supply of water
for upwards of halfa century, was filled
up with dirt and abandoned, presuma-
bly, III consequence of the abandon
ment and destruction of an old house
located close by, the erection of which
occasioned the digging of the well. At
ter two or three years had elapsed IL
was cleaned out, and again made use of
until about the year 1872, when it was
again filled up, this time with large
bouldersand smaller stones, since which
time the memory of the old well was
well nigh Obliterated until February
last, when water was noticed boiling
and bubbling from the place where It
formerly was, forcing its way through
the soil which had been placed over It.
Wishing, ifpossible, to know the cause
OF the commotion, an opening was made
several inches in depth, until the stones
ana powders were reached and q crew
ice between them discovered through
which very strong current of wind
forced its way. Observations were made
and noted, and it was found that por-
tion of the time air, instead of being
expelled from the crevice, was violent.
ly sucked in from the surrounding at
mosphere.
Further observations were made ofthe
blowing and sucking, which were pre-
sented to s. M. Luther, of Garretsville,
gentleman of extensive scientific
knowledge, who compared them with
the rise and fall of the barometer, and
this hole In the ground was found to be
q perfect natural barometer, for when
that instrument is high the air would
be sucked In, and when low, blown out
from this crevice.
A large tin whistle was made and
placed over the opening, and so strong
Is the current of air that this whistle
has been heard for nearly one mile.
Again, as before stated, its operation
is exactly reversed, and objects of con-
siderable size have been drawn in by it.
Several theories have been advanced,
the most simple and plausible one be-
ing that large subteranean, cavern
lies at the bottom of the crevice, which
has found an outlet here.
